Turning Mom Into Money - The Michael Lohan Story

Grandma didn't get over by a reindeer, but according to Michael Lohan, Lindsay Lohan's grandmother is lucky to be alive after running her vehicle into a tree and pole while avoiding a speeding car. I want to be clear that I am ecstatic that Marilyn Lohan is doing well and I also hope that her husband is successful in his battle against cancer. In fact, when Marilyn got into the accident, she was returning from the hospital after visiting her husband.

When I read the NY Post this morning, I could see Michael Lohan coming up with just the perfect quote and could see his brain spinning like a gerbil on a wheel trying to catch the cheese. Michael Lohan called his mom's survival an "Easter Miracle" and that "Jesus kept her out of the grave." While I have no doubt he is just as happy as I am that she survived, I can also see him lining up his mom for interviews and talk shows and maybe even a People Magazine cover story, a cookbook, any or all of which would lead to a payday for Michael.

Of course, I could just be really cynical. I mean who would exploit their mother. It would be kind of like exploiting your kids or something.
